Fruity Frozen Peach Bars
Fruity Frozen Peach Bars
These bars take me straight to summer. I used fresh peaches to make the topping/filling but you can use lots of different fruits (read the recipe below). The hearty crust could also easily be turned into energy balls if you don’t feel like making a bar, so it’s a multi-purpose recipe to keep!!
Fruity Frozen Peach Bars
Ingredients
Fruity Frozen Peach Bars
- For the Crust:
- 1/2 cup dried apple
- 1/2 cup (generous) pitted medjool dates
- 1 cup unsulphured dried apricots
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 5 tsp vanilla bean powder
- For the Filling:
- Several cups of thick fruit puree or nice cream (read instructions for more details)
Instructions
- Blend all crust ingredients in a food processor until desired texture. You can leave some chunky nuts if you want for extra crunch.
- For the filling:
- The filling for these bars is very straight forward: fresh peaches that I cooked down until I had very sweet reduced peach preserves. I then blended the mixture until thick and creamy. You could probably make a filling with any of your favorite no sugar added preserves but I think peach is best! Another option would be to simply blend frozen mango and peaches (let allow to thaw just enough to blend into nice cream).
- Press the filling down into your favorite brownie pan or anything that has a flat surface. I used a parchment paper lined cookie sheet for this batch. Just be sure that whatever you use, you create a square or a rectangle for easy cutting. Then, pour your filling on top and freeze until completely set.
- Cut into squares and place on serving dish. Keep frozen until you are ready to serve!
